The cannons took out two teams in quick succession, and it's only because they didn't expect it.
Other teams nearby were actually gobsmacked. They looked at the cannons installed around and deep into the island and lamented that they didn't think of doing the same. Turning the entire island into a mobile fortress was a damn good idea, especially in a competition like this.
But of course, this isn't enough to completely deter other teams. It surprised them, yes, but only for a short while. They will adapt to it eventually since that's all they could really do, meaning that the efficiency and threat of the cannons will be lessened.
